Abstract: A photography system includes: camera modules, which output, for individual pixels, picture data in synchronization with pixel clocks and which are arranged so that the light receiving directions of light receiving devices match; a camera control apparatus, which supplies an operating clock to the camera modules with a phase difference of half a cycle, and which generates a phase difference of half a cycle in picture data output by the camera modules; an output synthesizing apparatus, which synthesizes, in a time division manner, picture data output by the camera modules; and an image processing apparatus, which employs information about a distance between the camera modules for the reconstruction of a single picture, using the picture data synthesized by the output synthesizing apparatus.

Abstract: A filming and recording apparatus for filming and recording moving pictures and sound includes: a temporary moving picture storage area and a temporary sound storage area, for recording encoded data obtained for moving pictures and sound; a multiplexer, for multiplexing the data encoded for the moving pictures and the sound that are stored in the temporary moving picture storage area and the temporary sound storage area and for generating a moving picture/audio data file; and a long-term storage area, for storing the moving picture/audio data file, wherein the multiplexer multiplexes the encoded data obtained from the temporary moving picture storage area and the temporary sound storage area by tracing the encoded data backward from a stop filming instruction time.

Abstract: The slave device is connected to a master device via a data transfer bus and performs data transfer to/from the master device in accordance with an operation control signal controlled by the master device. The slave device comprises an automatic latch timing setting unit for generating a delay value corresponding to a latch timing used to latch data on the data transfer bus by measuring the time spent until the reference data transmitted from the master device on activation of the slave device is latched, and a latch timing adjustment unit for adjusting the latch timing of the operation control signal based on the delay value generated by the automatic latch timing setting unit.
